Sky News reported A "flying saucer" that glides three metres above the ground and carries two people has gone into commerical production. US company Moller International has begun to manufacture parts for its Jetsons-like personal flying pod, the M200G Volantor.... The flying saucer is designed to fly at an altitude of up to three metres, where it benefits from extra lift created by a cushion of air - known as ground effect. This allows the M200G to glide over terrain at 50mph, powered by eight of the company's Rotapower rotary engines.

Here is a video clip, but turn your speakers down, the music that goes along with it is loud.
